My classics Grimlock finally came in the mail today (like a loving month late) and my collection of every worthwhile Grimlock (plus classics and movie) was complete! Or so I thought  What the hell is this baby G1 Grimlock and how do I purchase it?

Or maybe the middle one is the WST Grimlock and the smaller one is the real world's smallest.

WELP that KO MP Sideswipe you all said I should buy? loving WORTHLESS The hole in the bumper for the belly-clip is either way too small, or the clip waay too thick, so the robot mode can't even begin to hold together. Thanks for that, thread. Forty dollars, wasted.

I literally said that was one of the only issues and you just need to shave it down to fit, you loving spazCaptain Invictus replying to your own drat post posted:Yes, they're nearly indistinguishable from the real deal in most cases, though quality varies of course. I bought both him and Red Alert and they're both fantastic and chilling out on my desk right now, mine have tight joints and the only thing I had to fix was cutting down the little clip that the chest-hood plugs onto, but otherwise I heartily endorse them.

Regardless of what others have said/experienced, I would never be surprised by quality control issues in a knock-off.

I believe I said I had every Grimlock worth having  not pictured: Leader Grimlock because he's off hanging out with the other movie Dinobots If I can find a WST Grimlock for less than like, $30 I'll buy it. I'm also still half-on the hunt for a G2 Grimlock just because.

The key phrase in the collection as Sockser described it is "worth owning." RID Grimlock is neither that nor a dinosaur, and can be safely omitted from the cool-toys-fireplace-mantel.

He's a steam shovel that turns into a robotic man scorpion with no kibble. And not only that forms a leg or the arms to a combiner robot. Being vastly underappreciated doesn't make it a bad toy.

I didn't buy Cybertronian truck Grimlock, why would I buy a dumb steam shovel?  E: though I suppose I still need beast wars Grimlock.

The Taint Reaper posted:He's a steam shovel that turns into a robotic man scorpion with no kibble. And not only that forms a leg or the arms to a combiner robot. Unless you consider a giant steam shovel hanging off a robot's rear end to be kibble, which I do. He looks ridiculous, and, more importantly, nothing like anything I would accept as Grimlock.  Nice connector peg dick, bro. Man, I do not miss those days. And are those OG gorilla arms I spy? I can't tell. You go girl, with your ironic hipster loving of mediocre toys because they bear a vague resemblance to classic Spider-Man villains, but I will continue to not allow that act of violence in my home. quote:Being vastly underappreciated doesn't make it a bad toy. Fair enough, but it doesn't earn it a space on the cool-toys-fireplace-mantel, either.

I find Build Team to be kind of lovely, and Keldroc is totally correct about RID Grimlock*. Really, neither RID combiner does much for me, but I tend to be immune to combiner mystique anyway. *It feels really weird to even complain about toys from that era right now. RID was still in that era where plastic was great, QC was top-notch, and deluxes were sturdy as hell. Even Energon Hot Shot makes any given modern deluxe feels like a happy meal toy. So the Build Team was "bad" but only measured against toys from its own era.
